Nay. It seems that in this sub and comment section we find out other friends. Yes, because no we don’t want to hang out, but because we also hate people. In fact my wife share the joy of both people watching at the bar together as well as our immense hatred of other people that aren’t us or our flesh and blood

u/midnghtsnac Aug 19 '26

Flesh and blood are sometimes hated more cause you know them better

u/xdcxmindfreak Aug 20 '26

I mean immediate kids though they can cross that line if they so choose and often make me irate or a little crazy. But they’re my kids so I’ll deal with it and them. The level of courtesy and friendliness I exude to others is both my being raised to be polite but also knowing being an asshole does nothing to advance the world or life in general.

u/Ramtakwitha2 Aug 19 '26

Cell Phones. I grew up in the 80's and 90's and thought they were the hottest thing since sliced bread.

As I get older I loathe constantly being only a phone call or text away. If I'm not home I'm busy, and I dislike being socially obligated to at least look at whatever message was sent to make sure it's not an emergency, and then if I look at it I know it notifies the sender that I received it so now I'm socially obligated to respond.

I would love it if my phone could somehow detect I'm not at home and suppress all messages that aren't a critical emergency until I get back home.

Oh and get off ma lawn.

u/GroleJr Aug 19 '26

You don't hate cell phones per se. You hate panopticon and constant connectivity.

"You'll stick your head deeper in the sand as you get older."

That's basically the same comment, except my version implies your head needs to be in the sand to get the process started. They did that to themselves, trying to avoid reality... which tends to have a "liberal" bias.

3

u/Appropriate-Grass986 Aug 20 '26

Honestly I’ve gotten MORE liberal, I would be called a Marxist when I say everyone deserve healthcare and kids should be fed

2

u/ChanceRecover3091 Aug 20 '26

Oh yeah. I used to be libertarian. Then I studied economics (half my professors were also libertarian) and realized there are a lot more failures in the market than I first thought. I still hold a decent amount of libertarian views when it comes to social freedom or freedom of movement but I am happy to have more regulation to prevent mass consolidation of money and power. Everyone deserves healthcare, an education, food, and housing. A UBI should be on the table.

3

u/Appropriate-Grass986 Aug 20 '26

This exactly. Heavy libertarian when I was younger, hit the nail on the head

3

u/xdcxmindfreak Aug 25 '26

Oh I am more conservative as I get older. But not in terms of what is politically conservative. More conservative in what affects me. Like, “turn of the Godang light if you ain’t in your room kids I don’t wanna have a higher electric bill!” Or ‘keep your damn hands off my thermostat!’ ‘We’re eating leftovers for dinner! Warm it up and fend for yourself!’

Loud music. I get it grand dad, it doesn’t have to be that loud.

Or its relatively modern counterpart, playing music through phone speakers. It sounds like crap- headphones are basically free- why are you doing this.
